The GENI serial driver handled transmit by leaving stuff in the common circular buffer until it had completely caught up to the head, then clearing it out all at once. This is a suboptimal way to do transmit, as it leaves data in the circular buffer that could be freed. Moreover, the logic implementing it is wrong, and it is easy to get into a situation where the UART infinitely writes out the same buffer. I could reproduce infinite serial output of the same buffer by running dmesg, then hitting Ctrl-C. I believe what happened is xmit_size was something large, marching towards a larger value. Then the generic OS code flushed out the buffer and replaced it with two characters. Now the xmit_size is a large value marching towards a small value, which it wasn't expecting. The driver subtracts xmit_size (very large) from uart_circ_chars_pending (2), underflows, and repeats ad nauseum. The locking isn't wrong here, as the locks are held whenever the buffer is manipulated, it's just that the driver wasn't expecting the buffer to be flushed out from underneath it in between transmits. This change reworks transmit to grab what it can from the circular buffer, and then update ->tail, both fixing the underflow and freeing up space for a smoother circular experience.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
